I hadn’t heard this in years. Pulled out a hard drive today in order send this track to a friend as we had just been discussing Gillian Welch’s Soul Journey LP from 2003. The following cover of […]

Decade :: Ryan Adams, Heartbreaker (2000)
What is it that makes us want to deconstruct art by units of time? Lists. We love making them. We love arguing over them. And here, on the verge of a new decade, we’re in […]
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals :: Cardinology
Conventional wisdom of late posits that Adams’ fashioning of the Cardinals as his constant band has been a godsend in terms of focusing him. But at what cost? Last year’s Easy Tiger was remarkably consistent but also remarkably […]
Ryan Adams :: Dreams Of A Working Class Clown
I played this (live) Ryan Adams track on the SIRIUS show several weeks ago and have since received several emails inquiring as to its origin. “ Dreams Of A Working Class Clown ” is a, live, piano ballad Adams had in his regular rotation […]
The Cardinals :: January 30th, Los Angeles, CA
I’ve witnessed numerous incarnations of The Ryan Adams Show over the years; the good, the bad and the ugly. Last Wednesday evening, here in L.A., Adams and his band, The Cardinals, transcended all three coalescing into […]
Cowboy Junkies :: The Trinity Session Revisited

This is a re-post, from 2/06, of an, oft-requested, A.D. reader favorite. Below are the Loft Sessions Ryan Adams & The Cardinals (original lineup sans Cindy Cashdollar) recorded for XM Radio just prior to the kickoff of the Cold Roses tour in Los Angeles […]
Ryan Adams :: Easy Tiger
“Guitar solo!” exclaims Ryan Adams (jokingly?) half way through the third song on his eighth proper solo album, Easy Tiger . Entitled “Halloweenhead” the song could easily have been one of the throwaway tracks Adams released, for free, […]
Lost Highway :: Releases Easy Tiger Tracks
Earlier this afternoon, Lost Highway (graciously) released two tracks off Ryan Adams upcoming album, Easy Tiger. Have at it below. Also, check out Adams’ recent live cover of Alice In Chains “Down In A Hole.” Thanks to […]
Ryan Adams :: Destroyer Sessions (2000)
Look, I’m an admitted fan of geek for all things Adams/Whiskytown related, so….With Easy Tiger (Adams ninth solo album) on the horizon, it’s a fine opportunity to post some rarities that have long been available via trading […]
